Scrolling Text Field
in [FrontPage]
|
From: Greg Maxey on 28 Feb 2010 11:47 Ronx, The scrollable HTML container works fine. I am using: <pre style="height: 150px; border: 2px solid orange; padding: 5px; width: 875px; overflow: scroll;>Code goes here</pre> I don't know that much about HTML so "CSS" and "External Style Sheet" are terms that I don't fully understand. Right now when I need a HTML contrainer at a new location in the same or a different page, I am simply copying and pasting the string of code shown above. There is probable some way that I could define one of these containers and then add it to the menu. I would place my cursor in the a the point I wanted to insert an empty container and click Insert>HTML container. Any ideas or suggestions as to how to go about doing that? Thanks.

From: Greg Maxey on 28 Feb 2010 12:29 Ronx, There may be a better way, but I scratched together my first FrontPage VBA procedure which seems to do the trick. I added the macro to the Insert menu: Sub InsertHTMLContainer() Dim objRange As IHTMLTxtRange Set objRange = ActiveDocument.Selection.createRange objRange.collapse False objRange.pasteHTML "<pre style=""height: 150px; border: 2px solid orange;" _ & "padding: 5px; width: 875px; overflow:scroll;""> </pre>" End Sub Greg Maxey wrote: > Ronx, > > The scrollable HTML container works fine.
